Shopping on the Brilliance of the Seas

The Shops of the Centrum on the Brilliance of the Seas are located on Deck 5. Available for purchase are an assortment of sundry items (suntan lotion, toiletries, candy, postcards, etc.), Royal Caribbean logo-wear, resort wear (casual clothing), jewelry, watches, books, liquor, and cigarettes.

The prices are all over the spectrum -- great on liquor and cigarettes, generally good on watches, expensive on sundry items. And, when the ship is at sea, you will not have to pay a sales tax -- purchases are duty free.

Also popular is the Art Auction At Sea, where you can purchase collectible art while on the Brilliance of the Seas.

Brilliance of the Seas Shopping Tips:

The liquor deals are excellent. However, keep in mind limits on what you can bring back into the country per US Customs regulations. Also, liquor bought at the on store cannot be consumed during your cruise -- you will be given the liquor you purchased during disembarkation.

No, you can't bring Cuban Cigars back into the U.S. if you are a U.S. citizen, even though you can buy them in a foreign port. But you can smoke them in the appropriate areas on the ship.

While not a guarantee, many items go on sale on the last day of the cruise.

It's been reported that the several companies that run art auctions on cruise ships will provide appraisals with their art that will lead you to believe that you are getting very good value. There are those with opinions that the appraisal methods are questionable. So, if you are inclined to buy something at one of these auctions, a common sense approach to avoid feeling like you got ripped off is to never buy thinking you will make a profit, buy the art because it suits your tastes and budget.

ATMs are available on the ship. There is an additional fee in addition to what your bank may charge.
